An Evening with Brian Tyler Cohen — The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World

Brian Tyler Cohen doesn’t just comment on politics — he dissects the machinery behind it.

Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author, MSNBC contributor, and creator of one of the most-watched independent political platforms in the country comes to 92NY to discuss his new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.

A leading progressive voice in digital media, Cohen has built a following of millions by translating the chaos of the political moment into clear, unsparing analysis. In The Day After, he turns from diagnosis to prescription, offering his own argument for how progressives should think about power, why he believes the Democrats have too often failed to use it effectively, and what he sees as the stakes for American democracy in the years ahead.

Part political playbook, part manifesto, the book lays out Cohen’s views on the structural fights shaping the future of American government, from the Supreme Court and executive authority to economic policy, voting rights, and climate action. His central question: not just how elections are won, but what governing should look like afterward.

Join Cohen for a timely conversation about the ideas driving his new book, his rise as one of the most influential independent political commentators of his generation, and how the new media landscape is transforming political influence and public debate.
